Fishing Report 8.1.18

Posted on August 1, 2018 By ron

We are in full swing with terrestrials now….hoppers, bees, ants, etc…

Trico’s are also going strong in the morning and small olive’s with large spinner drops of them in the evening (last hour before dark).

On a recent trip (somewhere in North America)  I was able to take our son Trevor and a friend (to unknown parts) to chase some nice brook trout!  Yes, they’re that big!  

Trevor Rakoczy with a brookie that was 20 1/2″!!

I managed to catch a few between the boys’ hauling theirs in!

Trevor with another dandy 19 incher!

Trevor’s friend Ben with a nice 20 incher ninja style!

P.S., the boys are only 13-14 years old and were catching brook trout of a lifetime!  After catching many in the 17-19 inch range, when they caught a small one (14-16 incher) they’d comment on how it was a “small one”.  They have a lot to learn…..
